My 710 will do that when I hold the blade at that angle and pull the AXIS lock back, the blade will literally fall out halfway, its just due to it being broken in, the AXIS is supposed to be like that when broken in, if you dont want it that loose apply locktite and if you ever want to remove the locktite down the rd use BREAFREE CLP trust me on this I had Locktite applied to my 610 around the pivots and did not like how stiff it was and applyed some hot water to loosen it up then I dried it off and appiled breakfree CLP which is actually a gun cleaner solution and it now opens like it did before applying the locktite... Good Luck...
